[KTamas]

Do all features work including push e-mail?

[a771la]

but drivers aren't different then hima?
:?:

[efjay]

Excellent news logout. Look forward to it. Will it include A2DP? And will it be a base rom or with added apps? Thanks for the hard work.

[xplode]

I hope we see a new rom soon

[logout]

great news logout ! can you post OEM/OS folder ? I am working for Universal will come soon. :D :D :D

OEM & OS is the same original, after create OS I edit in Dump folder.


Do all features work including push e-mail?

Now rom only start, have some bugs. I'll fix and release pure rom. Push e-mail and other will be added when pure rom works well.

[MegaHz]

is it faster than tuma 1.3?

How did you manage to port it? Mamaich and Tuatara used to work on it (Tuatara still does I think) but there were some .dll depency problems...

Really neat, can't wait to try it!

[borjok536]

Its good to here this great news from you guys. Hope someone here could release a stable version from this one. I cant wait to try this one. Im still using TuMa v1.3..

[thingonaspring]

Great work logout, I'm really interested to see how this develops.
Best of luck with stabilising the ROM.

logout I've done it too, but still hv problem with ActiveSync, do you have the same problem as mine? or do you hv a fix on that? btw I used BA_WM2005_5.03.02WWE as a base rom, thanks for bepe for his hard work..

[logout]

Yes I'm too. Great importance is Rom start, some big bugs will be fixed day by day.

[splonker]

Is this rom available? If not, any idea when? It looks sooooo nice!! Congratulations logout and Bepe!

[imatrix]

Logout mentioned it should be sometimes this week :)
i cant wait

imatrix

[xplode]

I can't wait to try it out too

[bepe]

Yes!

I managed to port the AKU 2 coredll.dll to an AKU 1 rom.... And everything is working!!!!

I did the trick on my Himalaya (because I don’t have an BA) next is doing the same with BA....
Big thanks to mamaich!

[bepe]

As I said I don’t have a BA, so I need someone to test this ROM:
AKU 2.3 for BA Test (http://qtekworld.free.fr/bepe/AKU_2.3_BA_Test.rar)
You’ll need the noID tool to try this…

(One volunteers is enough, because this is only a test ROM)

[Midget_1990]

will flash it now (posting this so you know someone is doing it)

edit: that webspace is soo slow (50kbps) could you use the xda-devs ftp next time?

[bepe]

Normally it is really fast.
The most important thing is that you see the Start button and the ActiveSync connection is ok.
See the results tomorrow, have to get up early…
Thank you

[KTamas]

Will flash it too now. The server is fast for me though (full 256 kb/s speed).

[Midget_1990]

flashing broke @ 93%

trying again

[KTamas]

It boots, gets to the welcome.exe, but no touchscreen :)
But hey, that's still quite good!

[Midget_1990]

it flashed this time, and booted to the 'tap the screen to set up your device' thing and played the sound, but the backlight and touchscreen are not functioning.

edit: heh you just beat me to it

edit2: i decompiled the rom and the touchscreen driver and backlight things are identical to other wm5 roms so i dont know why it doesnt work :(

edit3: i see many of the basic utilities like backlight control etc are missing in the rom dump, so i was wondering could you explain how to get the dll to boot so we can try adding it to an existing rom rather than making a 2.3 rom run on BA because for all we know this could be a problem of the rest of the rom not just the 2.3 elements (a bit more info would be nice :D )

[logout]

Yes!

Thanks Bepe,

I already send you old file nk.nbk, it included Ramdisk 32, you can add the AKU 2 coredll.dll to it. Do you receive it?

[helmi_c]

As I said I don’t have a BA, so I need someone to test this ROM:

(One volunteers is enough, because this is only a test ROM)

the ROM u post didn't work bepe, there's something missing from the default.hv maybe, I just take it as a base built, since u mention that u hv modify the coredll.dll so i take it as a base and combine. and everything seems to work okay now.. BT, WIFI, but i dont do camera yet... and just a little bit weird.. the certificates at the certificates applet is empty...hmm...?

the most important thing is now ActiveSync workin fine, but as the old ROM, Sync Contact, Calendar, , etc, is takes quite some times... but its work.. the worse bug is solved... thanks bepe... and offcourse thanks MAMAICH!.

its gettin really close... :wink:

Thanks for your hard work, after you fix AS, maybe you replace many old BA file, so about picture look like AKU 0.0. Can you recheck and build rom on other nk.nba to take 32M Ramdisk?

Wish you every success.

aah... I miss that, it just a registry value i taken from bepe rom, but the os I use are all the AKU 2.3 (Build 14955) OS, LOC 2.3 WWE, I just change the driver part

About ramdisk I think u can just edit the nk.nba to support ramdisk and add registry value in default.hv, but I'll try to rebuilt with 32mb ramdisk anyway...thanks for ur input logout, i'll post the result.

[imatrix]

I am dying to test a working copy here :)

[bepe]

@helmi_c
I deleted sysroots.p7b from the xip section.
You'll have to remove certifications read this (mamaich... as always...) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=152041#152041)

Also remove this from your boot.rgu:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\SystemCertificate s\Root]
"InitFile"="\\windows\\sysroots.p7b"

And set this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init\BootVars]
"RequireCertMod"=dword:0

[spkr4thdd]

Guys,

Is there a possibility of another test version of this ROM that works... I got so jumpy with the one on the previous page, but it wouldn't flash, btw, is the A2DP working on this yet? Or hasn't anyone tried it yet... I'd be willing to test this ;)

[logout]

A2DP working on AKU2.0 or later, I think it work. Now I can't test because I don't have BT hardware.

[01015]

A2DP working on AKU2.0 or later, I think it work. Now I can't test because I don't have BT hardware.
Can you upload the working rom to ftp and let me try a2dp work or not? Thanks again for hard work in ba wm5 rom :D

[bepe]

We will need to include the driver first, AKU2.0 only gives the possibility to do that, so it will take some time

[Midget_1990]

i would rebuild my own version, but the XIP decompiler doesnt work on x64 windows so i am unable atm, could someone who has made one work upload it and PM me? i would be more than happy to test BT, wifi etc.

[KTamas]

Count me in the (pre-(pre-))alpha tests :)

[spkr4thdd]

A2DP working on AKU2.0 or later, I think it work. Now I can't test because I don't have BT hardware.

I'd be happy to test it :D Which stack will this use? MS or Widdcomm?

YAY!

(Redownloading :( 39%... First time I downloaded with flashget and the downloaded files were corrupt :( )

Midget_1990: Make sure the file system is TFAT, _not_ FAT, cause FAT causes PIM data loss and other stuff.

Btw, do you have any messenger?

[Midget_1990]

will do, what registry entries control that i cant remember?

[KTamas]

will do, what registry entries control that i cant remember?
Will find it after I flashed the ROM :) (47%... BePe, I can provide you a faster mirror if you want)
Edit: Damn, corrupted files again........
Edit2: AKU2.3 and ROM was corrupted once again...let's try with IE7 instead of FF.

Big thanks BEPE now we all can cook our own BA WM5 ROM... thanks Bepe... just got back from work... back here and u already post DEV for BA, did u ever sleep bepe??

[Midget_1990]

bepe, does the today plugin support wifi as well as bt + phone? (like universal etc)

[bepe]

Yes it should, see helmi_c's screenshots...

Could someone please try this WLanMgr, because I'm trying to replace all the old WM2003 stuff on the rom...

[spkr4thdd]

If anyone has the OS/LOC packages can they u/l them to the ftp? I can't access any of the files on bepe's server...

[MicMeo]

If anyone has the OS/LOC packages can they u/l them to the ftp? I can't access any of the files on bepe's server...

I've just uploaded all required packages to my host. Take a look at:

yes, wifi is working, but bepe, ur rom and mine hv the same problem... cant send/recieve sms...hmm...

Midget_1990, please use SAP WWE (UNI) & SAP WWE (WIZ) (Modified) from bepe site, for the applet in control panel cos the BA version didnt work on this rom. or maybe i do something wrong...

WIFI ok, BT ok, SmartDialing ok, Phone rings after 1 ring.

for now, only buttons and sms didnt work (this is bad) maybe the version of SMSReceiver_Dll.dll?, everything else seems to be work fine...for now... need more test.. :roll:

[Midget_1990]

im just trying that SAP now, with a few modifications.

[bepe]

Please put this to your OEM and rebuild the rom...
Sorry, I dont have a BA, so I cant try things like this.

[helmi_c]

Please put this to your OEM and rebuild the rom...

geez bepe... thanks... u never take a rest... I'll test it...
edit: Voice mail & Text Message at the Phone setting work now... but send sms still cant... but i just copy the file and import .REG file, will test it more by rebuilt it...

EDIT: SMS workin fine now!...

Last report

Album Ok, Camera ok, Phone ok, WIFI ok, BT suspend ok, standby ok, send/recieve and pair with my pc ok, GPRS ok, SMS send/recieve ok (Thanks BEPE), MMS send/recieve ok.

now, only the buttons is a little bit miss assign... will try mamaich button fix..

Edit: ramdisk hv a problem.

[KTamas]

Wow, finally managed to build the ROM, this was my third try. The first two times I simply ran out all of physical _and_ virtual memory, even though that i have 512 mb ram and a 768 mb swap file...then I resized my swap file to 1,5 GB and it finally worked. Gotta flash it now.

[a771la]

:?: :?: :?: :?:
help :(

[KTamas]

Wow, this is really cool! Even without any performance tweak, it is fast. Can't wait for the alpha version with tweaks and apps from midget_1990 :)

[KTamas]

I don't know what did I mess up but I sync'ed my device and the device can't see any appointments (tasks and contacts work though.....)

now, only the buttons is a little bit miss assign... will try mamaich button fix..

can i try your rom?

[thingonaspring]

How on earth are you guys getting this to boot past the Windows Mobile logo?
All my build will do is show the logo and make a "tring!" noise. Tapscreen works a little (the backlight comes back on), but that's all.

I've tried several nk.nbas as a base, modified the coredll, changed the cert registry settings, but nothing creates any improvement.

[helmi_c]

Camera OEM, Album fix, can delete file from the album now.
and bepe, please remove bthuart.dll with this one in ur packet to fix suspend bug.

[bepe]

Ok, seems that SMS works...
Need someone to try this new driver package:
-removed all wm2003 stuff
-new Security settings
-SMS works
-A2DP Plugin
-Cleaned Up the registry
-...

1. Delete all xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxx folders from DEV/OEM
2. Extract this to DEV/OEM

Sorry, but I don’t even know whether the device will start or not...

If this driver package is ok, the DEV package will lose beta state

ToDo:
-Edit boot.rgu (ROM package will lose beta state)
-Make SAP package for BA

[spkr4thdd]

*** Ignore some of the post below, should have read bepe's one above :oops: ***
The 'own app install' question still stands though!

OK, flashed this, and it worked first time, the speed is unbelievable, you can tell just from the startup process, I have installed a couple of apps and it went great...

There are a couple of things outstanding for me though:

No WiFi (do I need to add the WLan Manager earlier in this thread?
No Stereo Headset Profile (do I need to add an A2DP CAB?)

and even though I DID clean the Hive/Storage etc I get a couple of this app cannot start, possibly due to cert errors, is there something I am missing?

Also, as a relative noob to the ROM building side of things, how do I add my own apps to the ROM? (If there's a guide anywhere, point me in the right direction and I'll be reading it all night ;)

bepe, I can't even get CreateOS.exe to complete with thies new Driver set... previously built and flashed first time (minor omissions on my part but nevertheless, ok), now won't build full stop.

[Midget_1990]

the HIMA SAP wont boot, thats my main problem atm. I'm trying to build my own atm.

[efjay]

Just a comment, I appreciate the hard work by all you guys! :D Wish i could help test but im at work now (2pm US time). Good luck and thanks to all you Rommers who continually breathe new life into our Blue Angels, showing what a great hardware platform it is.

Ohh.., it's not that hard, GTM+2 so it is 8:55 PM and I go to school so I've much time to do things like this... :wink:

I will add the button registry settings to the SAP packages, because those are localized and it should be possible to build multilingual ROM's.

Read this (http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/catid,26/id,22097/#22176), there is a HowTo create a OEM package or wait for the SAP packages..

@spkr4thdd or someone:
Have you tried the New Driver package?

[helmi_c]

@helmi_c:
Ohh.., it's not that hard, GTM+2 so it is 8:55 PM and I go to school so I've much time to do things like this... :wink:

I will add the button registry settings to the SAP packages, because those are localized and it should be possible to build multilingual ROM's.

really appreciate ur work for BA bepe.

cos if I dont replace keybddr.dll button asignment would be incorrect, cos ba has more button, but for ButtonIcon.dll u might just change with resource from shellress.dll but i think its more simple just to use it right?

and please add to initflashfiles.dat this value in LOC AKU 2.3 or BA_DRIVER pack? since BA support button for Internet Explorer and Messaging.

sorry for lack of info, i was at a meeting for the last few hours, i am trying the new driver set and i hope for a release tonight, although maybe early tomorrow :wink:

My main setback atm is the lack of a working SAP as with the Hima one the rom wont even boot.

I hate to ask but what is "SAP"?

[Midget_1990]

new drivers work great, now all i need is a SAP, a type 2 to type 1 convertor and a few hours :)

[Midget_1990]

I hate to ask but what is "SAP"?

the 'standard application pack'

things like button lock baclight control, bt settings, wifi manager etc.

can't you extract it from previous roms?

[Midget_1990]

what i'm doing atm, as well as trying to get extended rom support.

I'm aiming for 2 versions of each release.

One for normal BA users (with camera)

One for Sx-66 users (without camera)

and both of these will have a ramdisk for temp files.

[bepe]

The BA DEV package relased, please everyone delete the old one and download it again.

@KTamas
It' would be possible but touse were very old versions (wm2003).
Also it would not be possible to make multilingual packages.

[Midget_1990]

thanks, ive imported it, just trying to get my SAP to stop it hanging and the extrom to be looked at.

[Midget_1990]

bugger, i've run out of space in the rom -.-

[Midget_1990]

sory about the delay, i'm having trouble with the registry entries, it seems no matter what i do in the .rgu files in the OEM folders, they are allways overwritten by the default values, perhaps the tool could be changed to replace default values/files with OEM folder files instead of the other way round, that would make much difference.

If tht happened my SAP and ext_rom would be working and i would have a release candidate.

[imatrix]

okie guys thanks for all your hard work.
i am off to gym and a soccer game now.
hope when i am back, i got a new rom to flash.
too lazy to make my own :)

I've just uploaded a test build of the aku2.3 ROM.
It has most patches applied (camera, sms, drivers, bthuart, certpatch and filesupport).
You'll need to apply the BA_Button and WLanMgr patches afer flashing, also there's no ramdisk. I simply ran out of time.

Get the rom from
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blue%20Angel/AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED.zip

Activesync works, but that's about all the testing I had time for.
If nothing else it's something to play with while Midget_1990 works hard on his ROM.

[KTamas]

@ROM makers: for the backlight, you need to use WM2003SE 1.40's frontlight.dll...

[Black6spdZ]

doesn't the cameradetect utility and associated registry entries make the required changes for camera and non-camera models? thus not needing a specific rom for the two? although I think I'd rather have a more streamlined install with least amount of unecessary items as possible. the camera orientation was rotated 90 deg on my phone and really need device lock its fast though even without ramdisk

Indeed, cameradetect runs on startup and if it finds the camera, it sets the camera button to the Camera app, if not, it sets it to WMP.

@Midget_1990
This is the order the .rgu files are used to create the registry:

1. boot.rgu
2. .\DEV\OS, .\DEV\OEM\<Drivers>, .\DEV\LOC .rgu files
3. the other OEM .rgu files in alphabetical order of OEM\<package name>

So all OEM rgu's will override OS, LOC settings except of OEM\<Drivers>

Use this inside OEM to delete an OS, LOC entry:
“Entry to be deleted”=-
to delete an complete Key:

OK, I get the general gist of how to add packages to the OEM folder etc, and have successfully added some of them, however...

I can't for the life of me get 2 in particular figured out...

WiFi fix - Do I need to create a GUUID for this, create the folder and rgu/dsm files or is it much simpler fot that one?

Button Fix - Not sure about this one either, how do I go about applying this to the ROM?

As a further thought, could someone experienced in this perhaps add a detailed How To on the Wiki? Using examples such as those above... I read the Wiki for cooking my WM2003SE ROM and found the info invaluable, but real info for ROM manipulation in WM5 is very sparse on the ground...

-->Download Location<-- (http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/catid,26/id,22097/#22176)

- The RAMDisk is already included as an OEM package, just extract everything to DEV and allow to override the OEM folder.
- Some updates to the boot.rgu
--- not tested --- Please some response whether they are working or not

I versioned it 2.00a.96.
2 because it is AKU2
00a because it is the first, unmoded edition
96 because it supports 96Mb RAM

this ROM, as I said before and in the HOW_TO.TXT is BASE IMAGE.
I mean it is ok, as it is, but it is a base for editing (TofClock, vivi, ...)

I hope, we can keep some decent version numbering, so we'll not end up in 1.50f chaos... ;o)))

But we replaced "96Mb RAM" by "00/32/64Mb RAMDisk"
So the versions for this ROM's are: 2.00a.00/32/64 LOC
I used LOC instate of WWE because it is now possible to make multilingual ROM’s just by using another LOC package.
It’s up to you to use this system...

Last thing to do is make multilingual SAP’s

erm i've spent the last two days on it, shoudl be done very soon. (i have all te packages made, they just wont compile properly)

[bepe]

@Avinash75
On last thing is missing, the Standard Application Package (SAP). It will fix the buttons and the perhaps Camera. It has to be a separate package, because it contains localized settings and the ROM and DEV package are neutral.

About the OEM folder:
AKU_2.3 comes from the SO package and is only one registry entry to set the right AKU version
Driver_Blue_Angel comes from the DEV package

you also could add more packages like the, at the moment not existing, SAP package or MMS...

@all:
Some result on the ROM packages, somebody tried them?

[Midget_1990]

with the newest (1.00) files + ramdisk i cant get it to boot.

With regards to the SAP the HIMA one makes it hang, but ive made one using the stuff out of ivans rom. I tried using the comm manager but that also made it hang :(

[bepe]

@Midget_1990
This is the old boot.rgu move it to DEV\ROM\ and try it again. I messed it up if it works if not it must be another problem…

[thingonaspring]

New version uploaded.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blue%20Angel/AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_2.zip

It's based on Dev v1.00, and includes a working camera, and full hardware button fix. Button lock is also included in settings.
WLAN seems to be broken (no enable wlan checkbox in wlanmgr, help!).

It also now has RAMDisk32, stored in the XIP section of the rom.

To fit ramdisk in XIP, I've overwriten boot.rgu with rdsk.dll (renamed version of ramdisk.dll). Boot.rgu is definitely not needed in there, and the space is needed to fit rdsk.dll. The shortened filename lets it just slip into the space that boot.rgu used to occupy in the XIP section.

This change means that createrom.bat will break if you try to use this rom as a base. Likewise, boot.hv is different, so if you want to build on this rom, PM me and I'll send the necessary files.

Are you sure you have this entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\2]

I removed that from the Himalaya SAP, coz there is no WLAN.

New version uploaded.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blue%20Angel/AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_2.zip

It's based on Dev v1.00, and includes a working camera, and full hardware button fix. Button lock is also included in settings.
WLAN seems to be broken (no enable wlan checkbox in wlanmgr, help!).

It also now has RAMDisk32, stored in the XIP section of the rom.

To fit ramdisk in XIP, I've overwriten boot.rgu with rdsk.dll (renamed version of ramdisk.dll). Boot.rgu is definitely not needed in there, and the space is needed to fit rdsk.dll. The shortened filename lets it just slip into the space that boot.rgu used to occupy in the XIP section.

This change means that createrom.bat will break if you try to use this rom as a base. Likewise, boot.hv is different, so if you want to build on this rom, PM me and I'll send the necessary files.

Flashing in now, will post results soonly. (10-15-20mins)

yes i do that too... its show, but cant turn wifi on, i still believe there's something missing...

[bepe]

Ok, I'll try to find the problem...

By the way, I've replased ButtonLock by ButtonSetting.dll
Go to Start->Settings->Buttons there should be three tabs one for ButtonLock.

yes that does not work bepe, my rom use the good old buttonlock and it work.
EDIT: my rom also use from hima (with three tab) and its work also... but with the good old buttonlock u can just click the icon and dont hv to go to slow Button applet.

[KTamas]

Hmm I think we had one from Wizard, so it might work...
Will try it sometimes today.

[bepe]

@helmi_c:
Are you using the WirelessMgr_Service.dll?

[Midget_1990]

flashing my rom now, final test. because i started this a while ago it wont have the 'up to the minute' stuff in it, but it shoudl be a stable, and usable rom.

[helmi_c]

@helmi_c:
Are you using the WirelessMgr_Service.dll?

I dont hv it... the missing file is WLANSettings.exe and WirelessService.dll, I'll try it..

[bepe]

This contains all packagas somehow related to WLAN (from Universal)
- CommManager.exe is VGA!!!!
- .mui files are German, just delete them
- Also inludes the WirelessMgr_Service package
- 1026cf4d-a304-4c1c-8953-c4d43bfb6961 is the wlan driver

[Midget_1990]

:( - my rom now has no welcome screen, so no screen alaign etc, it goes straight to desktop and the startmenu contains 'today' and 'coldinit'

what went wrong?

I think i know, the initflashfiles.dat is the problem, it has to do something with notepad and its crap unicode. Get onto MSN and I'll find you what Mamaich told me about it a while ago.

Edit: mamaich told me that you have to remove the first two bytes (hex: FF FE) of initflashfiles.dat or it won't work.

[Midget_1990]

just hex edit the initflashfiles.dat and strip the first 2 byte. FF FE << delete this in the very begining of the file

[bepe]

Attention, my method is using standard Unicode!
CreateOS.exe will remove the first bytes... except you edited it inside the Temp\dump folder

damn notepad and it's FF FE

[helmi_c]

@helmi_c - could you post your SAP?

ok.. but mostly i just hand edit the rom, but u might try it...

[ThExSenatoR]

Let me share my experiences.

- Rom is very responsive and fast, maybe some future performance tweaks can make it even better :)
- Unable to change brightness level with or without BacklightFix.CAB :(
- Wifi doesnt work. But if you apply Button & Wifi.rar it will partly work. I mean, it won't find your wireless network even ssid broadcast is enabled, but if you set everything manually, it works, and it will show up in comm. manager if you run WLanMgr.exe (and enable wifi) manually as well. :)
- Default homepage is set to "-b" in Internet Explorer (with wifi on only) :)
- Camera works, but not from program/pictures
- SMS ok
- BlueTooth Headset (Moto HS810) works OK.
- BT GPS (Royaltek) + iGO 2006 works OK.
- Buttons work(ed) OK, something happened, so Pocket Outlook didnt open, now after "hard reset" everything fine again.

[thingonaspring]

- homepage is "-b"
oops, yeah just noticed that myself. it's a problem with the button reg entries. The entry should read :-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\4 0C5]
"ResetCmd"="\"\\Windows\\iexplore.exe\""

So just delete the -b off the end of that value.

- performance tweaks
yeah, the usual cache tweaks would probably help at least


Midget_1990 - tried to MSN you this. if you look in IA_camera there's an initflashfiles.txt. I just added lines to the bottom of that file and ensured that notepad saved it as unicode. Hopefully that will work for you too.

Wifi and backlight are the biggest problems at the moment I think. Has anyone got backlight CPL fully working? If so, how?

[helmi_c]

in my rom, power_service.dll work, but do nothing, just an icon on the tray that i cant click or do nothing with it, and so does the WirelessMgr_Service.

CommManager call WLANSettings.exe when we click Wifi Setting bepe, but i dont hv the file.. I dump from wizard rom... or maybe the PE header didn't correct...i'll try to fix it...

With the wizard files you cannot turn on wifi at all, because wifi is not present in comm. manager. If you copy the contents of Button & Wifi.rar (wlan_service.dll, wlanmgr.exe wlanmgr.lnk) then you can turn on Wifi. After you turned it on, it will be visible in comm. manager, and on today screen too. I personally think, these files are missing from this rom build, and maybe some other registry entries are missing for connection manager.

Wow! This topic really has flourished in a short time! Got a few questions because I'm excited by the rom but past experience tells me that I should not rush into messing with roms which are still in pre-pre-alpha. Is the Rom at an adequate stage for general-ish usage? Is there a WIKI page?

I've tried a couple of these ROMS, and made a couple with bepe's tools myself, and apart from WiFi not being controllable from the Comm Manager applet (although it works from the Today Screen), it has been the most stable WM5 ROM (and the fastest, by far!) that I have used to date, I've had no crashes or hangs, and even with a multitude of apps loaded it still performs comparably with what people expect from WM2003SE, and the RAM Disk options should increase the performance as well... so go for it ;) (But I take no responsibility for you not being happy with it :twisted: )

[remixme]

Been BETA testing AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_2.zip

Speed is impressive, side by side comparison with my T-Mobile MDA Compact on 2003SE is very favourable in general use.

A few bugs of course; ie camera works fine for pictures, unstable when trying to use video; seems to take one video then bomb out.

Was wondering, how much of this ROM is XScale compiled code, and how much is from Wizard?

Will Tumas 1.5 bring further speed advantages?

Btw, anyone needs me to beta test, I can do so.

[a771la]

for a camera use : http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=6645

[bepe]

there is no XScale compiled code, only ARM compiled and that is for Wizard, Universal, Himalaya, BA the same :wink:

I compared Wizard and Universal roms, the files are exactly the same except of the drivers and some differences because of QVGA/VGA

By the way almost everything is from Wizard (QVGA) except of the drivers...

[mwang]

This includes a newer version of CommManager.exe -> v1.0.3.0 (from the Wizard AKU2.3)

I got the replace commManager but dont work,what should I do

[remixme]

TuMa v1.5 will be entirely AKU 1.1 OS, with as many AKU 2.x elements I can add. This version is based on an ETEN Port (by me), and is a newer OS version than the Wizard Port by mamaich. It contains elements from many other ROMs and support elements from the Wizard Port by mamaich. However, this should remove ALL OMAP code from the ROM, and give us an entirely XScale Compiled ROM Base. (Rejoice now Wink)

Thanks for the quick response Bepe;

It was this quote from Tuatara, that prompted me to ask the question, I mean an ARM processor is an ARM, but I was under the impression due mainly to this quote that there were XScale specific optimisations.
Wireless MMX springs to mind, but I guess an OS doesnt really require it.

But in any case, we have a fast rom on our hands with all the lastest stuff, Excellent Work!

Will do some speed comparisons with the ETEN G500 shortly.

22:35: Waiting patiently; for the ROM to test.

Will test as soon as you release it. Having trouble sleeping lately so figure I may as well use the time to good effect.

and there is the next problem: msn messenger
Himalaya users have the same problem... :(

Midget, lets try to keep focused here and at least post your released ROM in this thread along with any known bugs and fixes so that we can work together to get a final release as soon as possible. If we stray from this we might as well work seperately on completely different projects

I kinda concur in the sense that the ideal scenario would be a community ROM not reliant on any one person to release, but at the same time it can be difficult to say what bugs relate to what ROM release once a thread gets beyond a certain size.

Better to put known common bugs on WIKI, with what release has a fix, and which doesn't in order to carry on the work.

And maybe even a worklog to see what was done for each release.

I think all in all we need some project management if we are really serious about making the "perfect" or at least a "damn near perfect" ROM for BA!

I found windows/appbuttons all programs was Wizard setting , delete all of them and copy programs from windows/start menu and windows/start mene/programs , and go starts/settings/buttons reset your buttoms , it work well.

I already tested Midget_1990 and helmi_c Rom, but stil have problems with .Net application. My rom is too. I think this is important, because many app base on .Net.

[Black6spdZ]

just wanted to post a couple sites with information regarding to WM5 and optimizations on NOR ROM memory based devices "our BAs".

Midget_1990 i think u post for public is a little bit too early bro, ur rom hv more bug then mine, mine already do automatic Extended_ROM support and everything u hv....about camera detect stuff why dont u do it automatically? by editing initflashdata.dat? but there must be so much pressure u hv maybe? :wink:

it whould be better if u post here, and we can fix it together...:)

what's the secret to uploading to the FTP? I have a bunch of OEM packages that everyone might be interested in using inside their ROMs ;)

ok I'll get those uploaded asap.. btw, helmi, your wiz and uni SAP keep freezing my BA after flashing.. what causes this? Actually some of these packages seem to do the same.. is it that UNICODE problem? Anyway, try these out, make any changes necessary to make them completely functional.. and please make notes so that others following can learn and build off each other

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blue%20Angel/OEM%20packages/

got most of these from buzzdev.net.. just wanted to make sure to give credit to the right folks

Thanks! I'm currently flashing my first test ROM now, I'm aiming for a 64 ram / 64 ramdisk ROM :)

[Black6spdZ]

I see alot of the Hima guys are using the 64/64 rom.. whats the reasoning?

[xplode]

Black6spdZ all the new wm5 devices are with 64 ram, because it is enough for the os to run just fine, and we have 128

[Black6spdZ]

as it sits right not I just don't see the ramdisk utilized to that extent.. I may start installing software there for a little extra speed.. can we move the sms saves there as well? The least amount of writes that have to be made to the rom the faster it gets.. if you read that page I posted several posts back it explains it in detial. I am really looking forward to this ROM and I'm sure others are with me on that note

[KTamas]

64 mb ram is pretty much enough and you can have the rest as storage space.

[Midget_1990]

I found windows/appbuttons all programs was Wizard setting , delete all of them and copy programs from windows/start menu and windows/start mene/programs , and go starts/settings/buttons reset your buttoms , it work well.

i made my own reg files with the 'correct' button settings, but it still doesnt work unless you do the above, no idea why atm.

[Midget_1990]

Midget_1990 i think u post for public is a little bit too early bro

probably :oops:


ur rom hv more bug then mine, mine already do automatic Extended_ROM support


what are the reg entries for that? mine dont seem to work


about camera detect stuff why dont u do it automatically? by editing initflashdata.dat?

i did, it doesnt do it for some reason, most of the bugs are 'fixed' they just dont work when flashed.


it whould be better if u post here, and we can fix it together...:)

will do :D

[Midget_1990]

so far, this is a list of all the bugs (i think) so we know hat to go about fixing

Extended_ROM - in mine only, helmi_c could you send me the correct settings/oem package?

StartMenu Slow

Slow WMPlayer performance

Wireless Stereo profile

No Windows Media Player in Programs

No Wifi in Comm manager

Error reporting is enabled by default

Brightness slider does nothing

the absence of some tweaks and Ramdisk.

Hardware Buttons - various errors, mainly camera (probably just in mine) and the random 'couldn't find shortcut'

MSN - getting fix from Ivan hopefully (i seem to remember that when in ivan rom we upgraded msn messenger to a new version from a UNI we had the same problem and had to replace a dll with one from wizard or something like that.

Easy to turn phone to Flight mode, but it is more difficult to re-enable phone again (press the button twice)

In Setting - System - Power:
I could only see the main battery power remaning, Backup battery power remaining was dissapeared.

In Setting - System - About:
Processor information displayed as blank and also information about memory.

do any of you guys here have irc/msn/icq etc?

does the Blue Angel 64MB RAM / 64MB RAMDisk ROM actually work?

the Blue Angel 96MB RAM / 32MB RAMDisk doesnt for me...

Nope, I was stuck on the white screen.

[spkr4thdd]

bepe,

it seems that the ramdisk versions of your ROM have an issue, we all seem to be getting stuck at the 'white screen' after flashing a ROM built with any of the RAMDisk versions... any ideas?

The ROM creates OK, but after flashing if you do the format hive/storage, it locks on white screen, and just a soft reset locks on the 4 colour screen...

[Midget_1990]

so it's not just me then, i'll continue adding the ramdisk manually then.

[spkr4thdd]

Midget, I was going to post here saying that the perf of your ROM drags once a handful of apps are installed...

However I have just disabled error reporting and the difference is quite staggering... it must grab a serious amount of resources, so of your list above I would say that this is a fix that will provide a significant improvement (along with the RAMDisk of course, if we can get it to work!)

Of the other items you listed I have the following comments...

Start Menu - Like you I've had no issues with this, with or without the Notifications tweak...

WMPlayer - Nothing new there then! (I hardly use it anyway, tend to go for TCPMP or GSPlayer)

No WiFi in Comms Manager - Personally I'd rather have the BTIcon and WiFi tray applets...

Wireless Stereo Profile - A well known issue, and one that I think we'll need to work on for a while to fix

PocketMSN - I'm sure there's a working version out there somewher (I think I had it working with one from Ivan or Logout?), and don't a lot of people use Agile/IM+ or some other 3rd Party app?

Buttons - This should just be a quick fix imo, we just need to get the reg entries from a working one and incorporate into the new build.. (don't we?!)

Backlight - There's a couple of posts on this thread about it, and an alternative backlight cab/file which is supposed to work...

Power - Is the backup battery omitted as it's redundant in WM5 due to the non volatile storage... (just a thought!)

About - OS is also missing... I believe these are all just rgu entries (or perhaps an OEM pkg!)

Overall, I find this ROM very stable, and once we get a RAMDisk working it'll fly... of all the issues above the only one I really want sorted is A2DP, but I'm considering a flash of TuMa 1.4 which had the A2DP working and getting the reg entries etc from that and building an OEM pkg... (unfortunately it'll have to wait till I'm back from work so will be much later tonight :( )

Hope we will soon have a perfect AKU 2.3 Rom for BA.
Thank you.

[Midget_1990]

thats exactly what im doing :P

edit: found the problem in the ramdisk versions: in /rom/ the nk.nba hasnt been hex edited, so the ramdisk and RAM were trying to use the same space :P

i'm just testing it then ill upload the fixed versions.

[bepe]

Sorry, I had no BA to test that... but I did the hex edit...
Perhaps I did something wrong, so please use the 2.00a.00 version, cos that one is not hex-edited...

Could someone help me to create the 32 and 64 versions.
List of HEX-addresses and values would be nice…

Been testing AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_2 again,

Seems things like the Roaming LED being on in flight mode and
Media player stuttering, are common problems between this rom and Midgets v1.1 Beta.

But the speed of AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_2 with error reporting turned off is really good.

Off to test Helmi's Rom now, anyone needs a private ROM tester, drop me a PM.
